New resources designed to accompany the Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Yoga (QCF) have been launched by awarding organisation Active IQ with immediate effect.

A bespoke learner manual is now available and will help increase the scale of resources for providers looking to offer the Register of Exercise Professionals-recognised qualification.

The first unit of the diploma course covers the "underpinning principles" of teaching yoga, while the next three are designed to develop the learner's knowledge.

Active IQ operations director Suzy Gunn said: "The demand for qualified yoga tutors has been steadily increasing over the last few years and is something that our Level 3 qualification directly addresses.

"We strive to reflect trends and innovations within the active leisure sector in our qualifications, and we hope that the new learner manual will help provide the best possible resources for providers to offer to their students."
